Notes

Xolani Kacela: "Following the mystical experience, the mystic is filled with dissonance. His or her inner experience is incongruent with the outer experience. Thurman offers this description

[The mystic] sees that the world of things and men does not conform to the unity which he has experienced. Was his vision false? Was his experience genuine or merely an illusion? He finds that the two worlds must in some sense be one because he participates actively in both at the same moment but he is convinced that the meaning of the below is in the abobe. With such a conviction, ascetism no longer means withdrawal from [people] but rather it means a steady insistence that one's human relations conform more and more to the transparency of one's inner graces, one's inner equilibrium in which is his consciousness of the active presence of God."
